I heard afterwards that the Tiercel's name is Cade after Thomas Cade. What a beautiful bird!
You did do a nice job Carol! June did too! Can I get an autograph sometime?

PS I believe the falcon that was shared is "Kade" with a "K". At least, that's what Dana from BBRO shared with me. You're right that it is named after Tom Cade, the founder of the Peregrine Fund. Dana also shared that Emma, the female that was shown last year, passed away this past year.

One thing that's very easy to do is to buy a reusable water bottle instead of buying bottled water. I started doing this myself
Here's three quick, illustrated poems in the order that I viewed them as I randomly came across them on youtube. Don't know why, but I just wanted to share..
why can't a housefly find its way out of a window???
Okay, here's my attempts to answer...
Because it's doing a screen test. Because it likes being a pane. Because it's being sill-ee. Because its lived a shuttered life. Because the reception is bad . (Get it? It's adjusting the antennae) Because it's a dead winger. Because it's busy playing wing awound the wosie. Umm...
